Help Michel keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
Michel runs a volunteer pantry feeding 384 families; this fund restocks shelves for the school holidays.
🇲🇦 Casablanca-Settat, Morocco792 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Wednesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 384 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 59% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Casablanca market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $195
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $130
• Baby formula and diapers: $45
• Refrigeration and electricity: $80
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

how is Michel doing now?
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Casablanca
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless!
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Casablanca
Thank you. If you're in Casablanca I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thinking of you. Great idea, hope you get there
Thinking of you, Michel. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Ikeja this morning
Praying for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Thinking of Casablanca
Hope things get better soon, Michel. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Take care, Michel. More neighborhoods should do this. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours!
Take care. This could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Thane but we're thinking of you.
